Answer:

False

Explanation:

Most of the marine debris results from the plastic dumped into the ocean. This debris accounts for 80% of the total marine debris. As per the united nation report, 8 million tons of plastic is thrown into the ocean every year which floats in the ocean water . Mostly the oceans having tourist destination or high density residential areas consists of high amount of plastic debris.

Answer:

A scientist's response to the increase in food poisoning sick patients should be examining the type and source within the foods consumed.

Explanation:

Food poisoning involves the effects that decomposed or contaminated food can have on a group of people who eat it, and can cause illness in all or most individuals.

Although patients' symptoms should be treated and preventive education provided, the best course of action for a scientist is to investigate the cause.

The response of a scientist to the increase in food poisoning cases is to determine the type and source of food, as well as the nature of the alteration it has -decomposition, contamination, bacteria- in order to eliminate the source and avoid new cases.

The other options may be valid in the face of the appearance of food poisoning cases, but they are not the best procedure with which a scientist would respond.

Answer:

The greatest changes to the path and strength of the Gulf Stream might be caused by an increase in the volume of river water that flows into the Gulf of Mexico (Option B)

Explanation:

The North Atlantic current or Gulf Stream carries warm water from the Gulf of Mexico forward Europe, providing a relative template clime in most of the European occident.

Ocean streams are sensitive to the amount of freshwater available on the surface. An increase in overflow and precipitation over the ocean could slow or revert the north Atlantic current, blocking warm water flow to Europe.

The deposition of freshwater could cause a temporal deceleration or total collapse of the North Atlantic Current, and this interruption might lead to very cold periods in the North Atlantic.

This research study would be a prospective cohort study.

In this study, the groups are different in some way, for example, a control group which received no treatment, a standard group who received a well-studied drug and a test group who received a new drug. These groups are followed over time and the outcome (such as curing a disease or alleviating symptoms) will be compared.
